My understanding is, this is the second cloture vote to end the debate. If it passes by two thirds, then Reid wants a vote on the bill itself later tonight or tomorrow. He also says that if this cloture attempt fails, the bill will be dead.

Don't be surprised if that vote occurs at midnight.

Oops, make that “passes by 60” not two thirds.
